(no my OC, I am attempting to help spread this that I saw first on https://programming.dev/post/33666663 because I think it helps to know that it is not too late to make changes even for major things like smoking and our health!)

    ~19 months into quitting. Best decision of my 40+ years.

    If you’re out there thinking it’s too hard to quit: You’re wrong, you can do this and it’s worth it.

    Between 5-15 years after you stop smoking, stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker.

    Is this not a tautological statement?

      Depends on your school of thought around addiction. Some people believe that once you have been a smoker that you’re forever more an addict.

      I agree with you though. 5 years without smoking you’re probably not going back.
